Too much of everything
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Pretty famous Soviet actors worked in this 1980 movie. As usual we can see the effectiveness of state forces in intellectual standoff against criminal minds.In the van, "Pastry" by police officers discovered a unique chandelier XVIII century, which criminals had intended to transport abroad. Until the outcome of the plot the main culprit remains unknown. However, it is clear tactics based on the reception "Sicilian defense" - defense by attacking ...Sometimes there's a too intellectual fight and no physical. Only one chase (in the beginning) than lots of talks, murder, and talks again... I wouldn't say that real work of investigators remind endless action, but too many talks make a movie boring.
